In case some have not heard, TS Lee apparently brought a Frigatebird to
Nashville's Old Hickory Lake yesterday. The only really good bird I've heard
about in KY was an apparent Sabine's Gull at Barren River Lake yesterday. This
would be an 8th state record and a new location for the state; if anyone is out
that way and relocates the bird it would be nice to have confirmation of its
presence.
Yesterday afternoon, several local birders converged on the Falls of the Ohio
after Eddie Huber's report to see what the blustery weather had brought in
here. In addition to Eddie's earlier report, the following were seen: 4 spp of
terns (17 Caspian, 1 Black, 1 Forster's, and 6 Commons). Shorebirds included 9
Semipalmated Plovers, 5 Buff-breasted Spipers, 4 Sanderlings, and maybe a
couple of dozen Least/Semi Spipers. Newly arrived waterfowl included at least
20 Blue-winged Teal and 7 Northern Shovelers. Eddie ran by there this morning
and most of the shorebirds and terns were gone.
Today, my yard has been full of birds ... mostly common stuff, but a female
Rose-breasted Grosbeak has shown up at the sunflower feeder and several species
of warblers, a female/imm. Orchard Oriole (VERY late!) and a small group of
Baltimore Orioles have joined the local goldfinches and indigos.
